DARK FUNERAL comment: Ave! We have played hundreds of shows around the world supporting our last album “Where Shadows Forever Reign”. Here’s a piece from of one of them. Next up is the sold out Nordic Metal Cruise, followed by a headline show in Israel, before we begin the festival season for real. We hope to see you all during the selected shows we are doing this season. And in between the shows, we will return to the realm of the shadows to work on material for a new album. New darkness awaits. Hail Satan!

Polish death metal unit HATE will be touring across North America with Belphegor, Dark Funeral, Incantation, Vale Of Pnath and Nightmarer as part of the annual Devastation On The Nation tour. Set to commence on May 17th in San Diego, California, the trek will wind its way through over two-dozen cities upon its conclusion June 15th in Los Angeles, California. See all confirmed dates below.
The band’s latest journey comes in advance of their eleventh full-length, Auric Gates Of Veles, set for release June 14th via Metal Blade Records. For a preview of Auric Gates Of Veles, view the band’s newly-issued video for “Sovereign Sanctity”. Produced by 9LITER FILMY and filmed by Błazej Jankowiak, the clip can be viewed here:
Comments HATE frontman ATF Sinner, “Well here it is, the first visual to our new album, Auric Gates Of Veles, for the song, ‘Sovereign Sanctity.’ We feel the video and the song together pass a story that at once conveys our message universally and yet is full of details and symbolism that tell a deeper story. So instead of me telling you about it, I’ll present it to you all with no preface. Just a quick thanks to Błazej Jankowiak and 9LITER FILMY for the massive work done bringing our united vision to life.”

Swedish black metal masters, DARK FUNERAL, have announced that they are parting ways with their drummer Nils “Dominator” Fjellstroem.
Lord Ahriman comments: “We must sadly inform you that we have agreed to let Nils ‘Dominator’ Fjellstroem take a much needed timeout from the band to handle personal matters. We of course wish him the best!
Yet the world keeps turning and so DARK FUNERAL will stride on. We have hired an extremely talented drummer that will fill in Nils’ position until further notice. ‘Jalomaah’ will make his live debut with us today, Friday Nov 10, at Aalborg Metal Festival in Denmark.
All scheduled shows and tours will take place as planned! Stay tuned for further announcements!
2018 will be an epic year as we have two celebrations to make, our classic album ‘Vobiscum Satanas’ turns 20 years old and DARK FUNERAL celebrate 25 years as a band.
More news to follow, stay tuned!”

Support will come from THY ANTICHRIST. Dates are set to be announced soon, so stay tuned.
The band says, “We’re returning to North America in Feb / March 2018 to support our new album Codex Omega, and with us, Swedish lords of the black Dark Funeral will co-bill the event to make it one of the most memorable packages to hit North America in very long time. Also also supporting the tour is Colombian/Texan black metal outfit Thy Antichrist… are you mortals ready? Dates coming soon…”
Late last week, SEPTICFLESH released a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Codex Omega in episode one of an ongoing series of exclusive videos. Watch episode one here:
In its first week of release, Codex Omega debuted on several Billboard charts, including #9 on Top New Artist Albums, #12 on Hard Music Albums, #48 on Rock Albums, and within the top 200 on Top Current Albums and Current Digital Albums.
Codex Omega is currently available as a 2-CD set, on purple wax vinyl as well as a US indie retail store exclusive on white wax vinyl, and on all digital outlets.Order here: http://smarturl.it/SepticfleshCO.
Codex Omega was produced by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Dimmu Borgir) and features 10 tracks of their trademark blend of mystical atmosphere, relentless death guitar riffing and pale melodies. Lyrically and musically, Codex Omega is by far the most infernal release from SEPTICFLESH to date. As a bonus, the CD and vinyl LP will come with an extra disc comprised of three orchestral tracks, once again featuring the Filmharmonic Orchestra of Prague.
